Hello! I am new to this. I just registered today. How is Bella doing? I see that you posted in March. The same thing happened to my Coco (he's 4½ years old). He jumped off my bed and hurt his right hind leg. I bought him to the local vet and she said it was soft tissue injury and put him on rimadyl for 10 days. After a month, he could walk, jummp a little and run on that leg. However, he was still limping slightly and the local vet wanted to do some x-rays. I decided to take him to my regular vet, an older and more experienced guy. He felt around and said the same thing or that it could be a ligament tear and did not recommend x-rays or surgery. Has anyone had this happen to their baby and how long does it take to get well?
